Definición

  • Habeas corpus is a Latin term meaning “that you have the body.” In the U.S. legal system, it is a proceeding to determine if a person is being held prisoner in violation of the law. As such, it is a collateral attack—not pertaining to the alleged guilt of a substantive offense—that can be brought after a conviction on the merits. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Habeas Corpus]
